required to register a source of air pollution, this registration and required information will be in accordance

with 15A NCAC 02D .0202(b).

II. Ambient Air Quality Standards [15A NCAC 02D .0501(c)]

In addition to any control or manner of operation necessary to meet emission standards specified in this permit,

any source of air pollution shall be operated with such control or in such manner that the source shall not cause

the ambient air quality standards in 15A NCAC 02D .0400 to be exceeded at any point beyond the premises on

which the source is located. When controls more stringent than named in the applicable emission standards in

this permit are required to prevent violation of the ambient air quality standards or are required to create an

offset, the permit shall contain a condition requiring these controls.

JJ. General Emissions Testing and Reporting Requirements [15A NCAC 02Q .0508(i)(16)]

Emission compliance testing shall be by the procedures of Section .2600, except as may be otherwise

required in Rules .0524, .0912, .1110, .1111, or .1415 of Subchapter 02D. If emissions testing is required by

this permit or the DAQ or if the Permittee submits emissions testing to the DAQ to demonstrate compliance,

the Permittee shall perform such testing in accordance with 15A NCAC 02D .2600 and follow the procedures

outlined below:

1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to the

Director prior to air pollution testing. Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved by the

Director prior to air pollution testing. The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-

approval prior to testing if requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the

test.

2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable

standard shall notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at

his option observe the test.

3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production rates

during the period of air testing. The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the equipment or

process being tested is operated at the production rate that best fulfills the purpose of the test. The

individual conducting the emission test shall describe the procedures used to obtain accurate process

data and include in the test report the average production rates determined during each testing period.

4. Two copies of the final air emission test report shall be submitted to the Director not later than 30 days

after sample collection unless otherwise specified in the specific conditions. The owner or operator may

request an extension to submit the final test report. The Director shall approve an extension request if he

finds that the extension request is a result of actions beyond the control of the owner or operator.

a. The Director shall make the final determination regarding any testing procedure deviation and the

validity of the compliance test. The Director may:

(1) Allow deviations from a method specified under a rule in this Section if the owner or operator

of the source being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the specified

method is inappropriate for the source being tested.

Permit No. 03980T12

Page 20

(2) Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative

method is necessary to secure more reliable test data.

(3) Prescribe or approve methods on an individual basis for sources or pollutants for which no test

method is specified in this Section if the methods can be demonstrated to determine compliance

of permitted emission sources or pollutants.

b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any source

subject to a rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any

test data submitted relating to that source. Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using

the appropriate testing procedures described in Section 02D .2600 has precedence over all other

tests.

KK. Reopening for Cause [15A NCAC 02Q .0517]

1. A permit shall be reopened and revised under the following circumstances:

a. additional applicable requirements become applicable to a facility with remaining permit term of three

or more years;

b. additional requirements (including excess emission requirements) become applicable to a source

covered by Title IV;

c. the Director or EPA finds that the permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate statements

were made in establishing the emissions standards or other terms or conditions of the permit; or

d. the Director or EPA determines that the permit must be revised or revoked to assure compliance with

the applicable requirements.

2. Any permit reopening shall be completed or a revised permit issued within 18 months after the applicable

requirement is promulgated. No reopening is required if the effective date of the requirement is after the

expiration of the permit term unless the term of the permit was extended pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q

.0513(c).

3. Except for the state-enforceable only portion of the permit, the procedures set out in 15A NCAC 02Q

.0507, .0521, or .0522 shall be followed to reissue the permit. If the State-enforceable only portion of the

permit is reopened, the procedures in 15A NCAC 02Q .0300 shall be followed. The proceedings shall

affect only those parts of the permit for which cause to reopen exists.

4. The Director shall notify the Permittee at least 60 days in advance of the date that the permit is to be

reopened, except in cases of imminent threat to public health or safety the notification period may be less

than 60 days.

5. Within 90 days, or 180 days if the EPA extends the response period, after receiving notification from the

EPA that a permit needs to be terminated, modified, or revoked and reissued, the Director shall send to the

EPA a proposed determination of termination, modification, or revocation and reissuance, as appropriate.

LL. Reporting Requirements for Non-Operating Equipment [15A NCAC 02Q .0508(i)(16)]

The Permittee shall maintain a record of operation for permitted equipment noting whenever the equipment is

taken from and placed into operation. During operation the monitoring recordkeeping and reporting

requirements as prescribed by the permit shall be implemented within the monitoring period.

MM. Fugitive Dust Control Requirement [15A NCAC 02D .0540] - STATE ENFORCEABLE ONLY

As required by 15A NCAC 02D .0540 "Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources," the Permittee shall

not cause or allow fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess visible

emissions beyond the property boundary. If substantive complaints or excessive fugitive dust emissions from

the facility are observed beyond the property boundaries for six minutes in any one hour (using Reference

Method 22 in 40 CFR, Appendix A), the owner or operator may be required to submit a fugitive dust plan as

described in 02D .0540(f).

"Fugitive dust emissions" means particulate matter from process operations that does not pass through a

process stack or vent and that is generated within plant property boundaries from activities such as: unloading

and loading areas, process areas stockpiles, stock pile working, plant parking lots, and plant roads (including

access roads and haul roads).

NN. Specific Permit Modifications [15A NCAC 02Q.0501 and .0523]

1. For modifications made pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q .0501(c)(2), the Permittee shall file a Title V Air

Quality Permit Application for the air emission source(s) and associated air pollution control device(s)

on or before 12 months after commencing operation.

2. For modifications made pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q .0501(d)(2), the Permittee shall not begin

operation of the air emission source(s) and associated air pollution control device(s) until a Title V Air

Quality Permit Application is filed and a construction and operation permit following the procedures of

Section .0500 (except for Rule .0504 of this Section) is obtained.

3. For modifications made pursuant to 502(b)(10), in accordance with 15A NCAC 02Q .0523(a)(1)(C), the

Permittee shall notify the Director and EPA (EPA - Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth St. SW, Atlanta,

GA 30303) in writing at least seven days before the change is made. The written notification shall

include:

a. a description of the change at the facility;

b. the date on which the change will occur;

c. any change in emissions; and

d. any permit term or condition that is no longer applicable as a result of the change.

In addition to this notification requirement, with the next significant modification or Air Quality Permit

renewal, the Permittee shall submit a page "E5" of the application forms signed by the responsible

official verifying that the application for the 502(b)(10) change/modification, is true, accurate, and

complete. Further note that modifications made pursuant to 502(b)(10) do not relieve the Permittee

from satisfying preconstruction requirements.

OO. Third Party Participation and EPA Review [15A NCAC 02Q .0521, .0522 and .0525(7)]

For permits modifications subject to 45-day review by the federal Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA), EPA’s decision to not object to the proposed permit is considered final and binding on the EPA

and absent a third party petition, the failure to object is the end of EPA's decision-making process with

respect to the revisions to the permit. The time period available to submit a public petition pursuant to

15A NCAC 02Q .0518 begins at the end of the 45-day EPA review period.
